I saw him in concert a few years back at a tiny theater. He was incredibly grateful about the life he has, told fantastic stories, and the singing was amazing.

At the end of the show, for his encore, he came out and told a story about how even little children knew just who he was, and it amazed him. That the power of twelve little words would change his life so much. And then he recited the words, and the audience went nuts. It was a benefit for a local Jewish charity, so 80% of the audience was middle-aged Jewish women, and they screamed like school girls.

Lipspinach:Dwight_Yeast: It's a shame that he's tried (and often succeeded) to crash and burn every TV show he's been on.

Yeah. What a cocksucker! He should just DIAF!*rolls eyes*

Huh?

Mandy's famous for impetuously quitting TV shows, with little or no notice to the producers. some of them (Chicago Hope, Criminal Minds) have survived, while others (Dead Like Me) haven't. I didn't say he was a bad person, I just wish he wouldn't do it.

rikkards:Snapper Carr: BunkyBrewman: Dibikad: Really wish they could have got him in the Dead Like Me movie.

There was a movie? Why was I not told!

You're better off not having seen it.

/it wasn't good//I wonder how many people walk up to Mandy and say "I'm gonna kill that farkin' baby"

This,Georgie looked old!!

I was so excited to watch the movie when it came out, but couldn't believe how terrible it was. No Rube, fake Daisy, and a plot that didn't really do a good job following up on the actual series. It was just some standalone story that wasn't very interesting. Even Desmond from Lost couldn't save it.

Probably one of the best shows I've seen.

I saw one of his shows here in Chicago some years back and it really is a damn fun show.

As for quitting shows, this quote from him about Criminal Minds (which, much as I love a good procedural, is a vile piece of exploitation) puts me on his side:

"The biggest public mistake I ever made was that I chose to do Criminal Minds in the first place," the actor told New York magazine. "I thought it was something very different. I never thought they were going to kill and rape all these women every night, every day, week after week, year after year. It was very destructive to my soul and my personality. After that, I didn't think I would get to work in television again."

I'm glad somebody from one of those shows finally said it.

I honestly can't understand the mass appeal of shows like Law & Order: SVU, Criminal Minds, or 90% of movies on Lifetime. The real-world news is depressing enough most evenings. Why seek out entertainment that is nothing but rape and assault stories?

/you're very close to going on The List.

I'm going go ahead and say that makes him a bad person. Dozens of people lose jobs they really need because he didnt realize that Criminal Minds was going to have criminals in it?

Considering Criminal Minds is still on the air, I'm going call BS on that.

You see they called it Criminal Minds and not The Happy Funtime Psycho Torture Rapist Killer Ubsub Hunt Show.

Maybe he thought there would be some bank robbers and gangster hitmen in it too. But no it mostly it was crazy pervert killer of white ladies.

Had a similar experience Alien Nation. I was re-watching it and it was driving me crazy because I recognized that soft cadence his voice has... and about half way through the viewing it occurred to me Sam Francisco was Inigo Montoya.

First concert I ever went to, for my 15th birthday, was Mandy Patinkin at the McCallum Theatre. I had no idea he was a film actor until I was an adult; I had all his albums, and I knew he'd been Che in Evita, but I didn't see Princess Bride for the first time until I was 19. And I only watched it because of Mandy.
